Question

A huge system of stars is called ______.

Answer 1

Hint:A star is an astronomical object or a huge celestial body that is made up of hydrogen and helium that produces heat and light from the churning nuclear forces inside their cores.

Complete answer:Stars are huge celestial bodies which are made of hydrogen and helium and are light-years from the Earth. They appear to shine as they are extremely hot because of the nuclear forces inside their cores. They appear to twinkle because the light traveling from the stars go through our atmosphere and bounces and bumps through different layers, bending the light in different directions before we see it. As the hot and cold layers of the air are moving, the direction of the light also changes because of the bending and it causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle. The closest star to Earth is the Sun. When a group of stars in the sky form a pattern that typically represents an animal, mythological person or creature, or an inanimate object are called constellations. There are officially 88 constellations that are recognized by the International Astronomical Union. A huge system of Stars is called a Galaxy which is a gravitationally bound system of stars, interstellar gas, dust, stellar remnants, and dark matter ranging in size from very small having a few hundred million stars to giants with one hundred trillion stars, each orbiting its galaxy's center of mass. According to Astronomers, there are 100 thousand million stars alone in the Milky Way which is our galaxy.

Note:The nearest star to the Earth is the Sun. There are many other stars visible to the naked eye from the Earth during the night that are light-years from the Earth and they appear to be shining because they are extremely hot.
